An Update

Plot: No I haven't, I know the surgery costs upwards of 27k but it was all covered by insurance. We did spend a lot on food mainly because we ate out so much but we don't do that anymore. However buying healthier food options is also expensive. But now my wife and I can split a meal and both be full.

Duke: Actually when I played WOW really hardcore a few years ago I lost 40-50lbs because I was so wrapped up in the game I barely left it to eat and when I did eat it was only a Lean Cuisine or something along those lines.
 
They just opened an internet addiction clinic somewhere here in the U.S. Might've saved you some stomach surgery expenses.
